hey bialyze..it is obvious that the titulo is meant to suggest monk's straight, no chaser.

but what this cosmic idiot wants to know is - was the smoke that condensed to burnished copper of the habana puro or lavalou variety or don't you remember?

richard,

i am not so crazy as to begin internet discussions with eccles the cosmic idiot, no matter what.

however, since it is you who are asking (presumably you are not eccles in cyberguise), allow me to provide a cheerful, experimental answer of exactly the same sort i once provided a ny highway patrol officer who had pulled over my 83 saab 900 for a defective tail-light and inquired about the nature of the handrolled cigaros on the dash.

in this case though, you will need to print it before you smoke it to find out.

I find you not the least bit humorous Dr. Bialy, anymore than I found your "falsification" of HIV/AIDS that received, and continues to receive so much attention on the blog thanks to the popular but misguided Dean Esmay, the least bit convincing.

In any event, I shall not be returning, as I also find your so-called "art work" as intellectually empty as Duesberg's "theories" about HIV.

i just got off the phone with one of my dearest friends, Martin Pato, who has spent his life unravelling the mysteries of the topology of replicating dna.

i phoned him, for reasons inexplicable at the time, to tell him personally about the new Amiri Baraka additions to this string.

when i did, he immediately said...o, my relation.

the explanation is that Amiri's first wife, Hettie, is a second cousin.

although i have known martin since 1966, i never knew this fact of his genetics before.

&it engendered this comment for two reasons.

1. martin is one of my daughter's 2 living godfathers (the other is Lee Evans).

2. tara's full name, Tara Ekaette Kelly Bialy, derives its 'kelly' from amiri and hettie's first daughter, for whom i babysat in 1962.

"The Dusenberger" Invades the NCI

A full account of the background to this breakthrough is available in my only full-length prose work, Oncogenes, Aneuploidy and AIDS: A Scientific Life &Times of Peter H. Duesberg. It was reviewed in Amazon on Sept. 10, 2004, by William Breeze, and Peter asked after he read the brief essay below, "if i knew who (Dr.?) Breeze might be?"

Duesberg's Huxley, September 10, 2004
Reviewer: William Breeze (New York, NY)

Bialy does for Duesberg what T.H. Huxley did for Darwin, by taking up the cudgels for a fellow scientist and his thinking. Employing deft characterizations and a mordant wit (to which he occasionally gives free rein with delightful effect), he provides an incisive understanding of the scientific and social issues behind cancer genetics and AIDS research. Written from the unique vantages of a longtime friend and colleague, and from within the hallowed precincts of the world's oldest continually published scientific periodical, Nature, the book gives a real "inside analysis" of biomedical science since the advent of the modern biotechnologies. The book is elegantly composed and has an overall sonata allegro form, with the first and last chapters developing the various themes of cancer genetics and the middle three featuring the story of HIV and its relationship to AIDS. The first person style, and the clear but rigorous scientific history that it relates, make it both accessible and enjoyable to the general reader. It is guaranteed to provoke a few smiles and many grimaces from the stalwarts of HIV and oncogene (cancer gene) theory.

Bialy is a molecular biologist who was involved in the genesis of biotechnology as the founding scientific editor of the most prominent journal in the field (Nature Biotechnology). His literary talent allows him to guide the reader through a gradual exposition of the scientific issues while telling the cautionary tale of Duesberg's courageous struggle to restore objectivity, fairness and intellectual integrity to cancer and AIDS research. It shows just how vulnerable the great tradition of hypothesis, experiment, proof, peer review and publication can be to manipulation by vested interests, media, and government institutions with public health party lines. When these close ranks they wield a formidable, monolithic power that can dictate the way science is allowed to proceed. Pit against this a scientist at the top of his field who commits the unforgivable 'sin' of challenging an orthodoxy he himself was critical in establishing, and the predictable outcome is marginalization, ridicule and out-of-hand dismissal. Duesberg suffered all of this. Yet he continued, in an amazingly dogged way as the reader learns, to apply the high standards of scientific proof that had made him so famous, feared and respected in the intellectual salad days of molecular biology. These are the elements of a classic heroic tale, but rather than portray Duesberg as a white knight, Bialy more interestingly and accurately doesn't portray him at all. Instead he presents the unadulterated thinking of this immensely reasonable, patient and persistent scientist, who is if anything an anti-hero. The plot, accordingly, is not that of an epic but of a dark mystery -- the central one, left unsolved and for the astonished reader to ponder, being "why?" The book reveals "how," "what" and "who" in a way that I found irresistible.

Whilst Peter Duesberg's rethinking of AIDS dogma has not as yet become even semi-respectable (although this book could help change that if enough people actually read it), the book's final chapters show how his two decades of criticism of qualitative oncogene theory led him to his now well-recognized quantitative aneuploidy (numerical chromosomal abnormalities) theory of cancer causation.

Neuroscience 2005 ... Featured Lectures

Part II (from New Aids Review, 16 August 2005

16 mainstream papers say that the AIDS 'pandemic' does not exist

Here as promised are the mainstream papers which say HIV is effectively non infectious, heterosexually, so any idea of HIV/AIDS being an infectious global pandemic is null and void.

In other words, the global pandemic to which Laurie Garrett just devoted two years of her hard working career recording, analyzing and writing up in a splendid report for the Council of Foreign Relations is, to put it in easy to understand, blunt, Monty Pythonesque terms, a dead parrot--impossible according to the very mainstream AIDS literature that it appears she failed adequately to consult.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves. The first paper is a kind of meta-study, looking at all the studies available by 2001.

Let’s see what it can tell us about the nature of the Great Global AIDS/HIV pandemic.

Great Heavens! How can this be?! The authors come up with the following stunning finding: the chance of transmitting HIV-1 from man to woman during their bout of lovemaking is... one in a thousand!!


Analysis of data from North American and European studies of heterosexual couples provide estimates of per-sex-act HIV-1 transmission of approximately 1 in 1000


So how can a raging global AIDS/HIV pandemic arise from an agent that is transmitted at the rate of once every thousand copulations?! Even the group of clearly pious, mainstream-ideology authors of the paper are evidently taken aback. Obviously seeing the problem, they are reduced to saying rather feebly, in the next sentence, “the magnitude of the HIV-1 epidemic would argue that these estimates might be unreasonably low.”

Low indeed. Contemplate what would have to take place for an epidemic to emerge from a rate of transference of one in a thousand bouts. A man with HIV would have to fornicate with his woman or women one thousand times, on average, to transmit the virus once. Even if he had sex once every night, three years wouldn't be enough to ensure a single transmission.

For any kind of epidemic to transpire, enough sex for transmission would have to be done in a relatively short time, far shorter than the average time heterosexual men take to provoke and consummate one thousand sexual engagements. Cohabiting couples are generally assumed to engage in sex twice a week, we are told. One thousand bouts would take them ten years.

No infection is going to spread if it takes ten years for the agent to jump ship to ship. This rate rules out any pandemic. Even love making once a day wouldn’t be enough to support a spreading infection, let alone an epidemic. Pandemic? Fugeddabahtit!!

If there really was the glohal pandemic everyone led by the UNAID, WHO and Laurie Garrett and the Council of Foreign Relations credits as gospel the supermen of the AIDS pandemic must get a lot busier than that. Let's see now, surely ten copulations a day would do it? That would "only" be 100 days of Olympic ten-times-a-day sex per transfer.

Actually, even that remarkable performance standard would still not be good enough. A virus that took 100 days to infect another body is too slow. That is just too long a delay to get any kind of epidemic under way. It would have to be five times that rate, or 50 copulations a day to do it in twenty days, which is the rough minimum, we guess, to support any kind of epidemic spread.

That is to say, if the couples went at it at the rate of 50 bouts of sex a day it would take on average twenty days for the virus to hop from gent to lady. Maybe that would sustain an epidemic. But how many men do you know--or women for that matter--who are interested in let alone capable of fifty bouts of sex a day?

But if there is any kind of epidemic, that is what the finding of this mainstream paper--which collates the findings of 15 other orthodox research papers on the topic--implies.

Perhaps the African and Asian males who have engendered the AIDS pandemic, the one that the Council of Foreign Relations has recently warned us may plunge the world into wars, famine and devastation, are a Godlike breed, who have Olympian sexual powers far beyond the norm or even the imagination of their counterparts in the USA.

More likely, however, is that quite simply, the global AIDS pandemic is a fantasy and a chimera, an impossible narrative construct of such a gargantuan level of poppycock that science and politics have not to date ever seen the like.

This is what the papers on the (non) infectiousness of HIV tell us, as summarized so helpfully by this paper. They may be found any time on your computer at Pub Med. Here they are for the record, the meta-paper and a list of the papers it summarizes:


The meta-paper


1. Viral burden in genital secretions determines male-to-female sexual transmission of HIV-1: a probabilistic empiric model

by Hrishikesh Chakraborty et al AIDS 2001 15:621-627 From the Department of Biostatistics, Rollin School of Public Health, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia etc. Reprint requests to Myron Cohen, Department of Medicine, 3003 Old Clinic Building CB7005, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7005.


On page 2, this paper says that


“The probability of per-partner sexual transmission has been examined in 11 different studies (6) whereas the per-sex-act probability of transmission has been reported in 13 studies (7-19). The probability of transmission of HIV-1 from male to female during an episode of intercourse has been examined in seven of these studies (7,14-19). Analysis of data from North American and European studies of heterosexual couples provide estimates of per-sex-act HIV-1 transmission of approximately 1 in 1000 (0.0001, ranging from 0.0008 to 0.0002) (6), although the magnitude of the HIV-1 epidemic would argue that these estimates might be unreasonably low.” .

These are not all, by the way. There have been quite a few other papers since, saying the same thing. Here's one from 2002, a year later:


Stephane Hugonnet et al Incidence of HIV Infection in Stable Sexual Partnerships: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 1802 Couples in Mwanza Region, Tanzania. JAIDS Journal of nAcquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome 30: 73-80 2002



This paper concludes in its abstract:


“HIV negative individuals in discordant partnerships are at high risk of infection, and preventive interventions targeted at such individuals are urgently needed......Individuals living in discordant couples (that means one HIV positive one negative) were at greatly increased risk of infection compared with individuals in concordant-negative couples."


In its introduction it states that


"the majority of infections worldwide are attributable to heterosexual transmission. In sub-Saharan Africa, the worst afflicted region, heterosexual transmission accounts for at least 90 per cent of adult infections."


All in all, what sounds like a dangerous state of affairs illuminated by the sterling work of these researchers on data from 1802 couples in Mwanza. For after all, if "HIV negative individuals in discordant partnerships are at high risk of infection", then indeed heterosexual transmission could account for 90 per cent of adult infections.

But when we look closer, we discover the same problem, this time also being neatly brushed under the carpet. There is in fact little or no danger, as indicated by the authors' very own result. The "high risk" of a heterosexual coupling changing a discordant couple into a concordant couple—these musical sounding technical terms refer to whether couples share the same HIV status or not—turns out to be exactly the same as in the collection of papers before 2000: 1 in 1000.

Buried in the pile of comforting statistical jargon, which is mostly less than meets the eye (py means person-year, RR means rate ratio, etc), is this simple statement: Seroincidence rates in discordant couples were 10 per 100 person-years (py) and 5 per 100 py for women and men respectively (rate ratio RR = 2.0 CI (confidence interval = 0.28-22.1.)

What does this mean in plain English? That in any of these Mwanza couples with the man HIV+ and woman HIV-, the chances of the woman being converted to HIV+ are so low that on average it takes ten years to happen. For the man to be infected the other direction would take twice as long, twenty years.

The standard assumption in such work is that couples make love twice a week, so that is 100 times a year. So ten years is 1000 times. The chances of a woman converting in a single bout are therefore 1 in 1000, with the chances of the man converting from a HIV+ woman partner 1 in 2000.

Exactly the chances which are found in every other paper on this topic. The figure is marvelously consistent: 1 in a thousand.

The Mwanza study researchers thus find themselves in a great difficulty and as a result have to contradict themselves as they state what is certainly a paradigm buster of a finding.

At such a low rate of conversion, not only is it NOT true that "HIV negative individuals in discordant partnerships are at high risk of infection" (unless you call a 1 in 10 chance over a year of 100 bouts 'high risk'), but it is also not true that "preventive interventions targeted at such individuals are urgently needed".

Far from it. For their very own finding proves that any AIDS epidemic through mainstream sex is quite impossible. The rate of transfer of HIV is just too low, far too low. According to these mainstream, orthodox researchers HIV is realistically not an infectious virus at all, at least between heteroexuals in Africa. It simply could not support any epidemic.

In fact, the paper indicates a simple conclusion, which the authors for whatever reason are either blind to or do not wish to speak out loud. That finding is that there is no HIV/AIDS epidemic in Mwanza or anywhere else.

Clearly the infectivity of HIV is far too low to spread through heterosexual sex in the US and Europe, and that is why such an epidemic has never been seen here or there in the two decades the AIDS alarm has been noised so loudly in headlines and homilies from the press to the pulpit. By the same logic it is also too low to support any heterosexual AIDS epidemic anywhere in the rest of the world.

In other words, as we have said before, the AIDS pandemic is a non starter, a nag that expires even before it is even able to take its position at the starting gate. It is utterly non-viable, at least in the real, external world of health and science.

How far this kite may fly on the wings of obtuse venality, incompetence, officiousness, powerseeking, self-importance, conformity, credulity and billion dollar funding in the fantasy world of political, social and medical culture is of course another matter entirely.

Apparently, it can stay up without a drop of fuel for twenty one years simply on the cross currents and updrafts of hot air generated by the major writers and players of the ongoing drama "World AIDS Pandemic" and is capable of flying high for many more years unless and until it is shot down by anti-paradigm guns more powerful than those of simple logic and common sense, not to mention its own research.

And by the way, there are more papers to list, papers from the orthodox mainstream research factory, and we will append them here later today.

But the main point is already established. HIV is effectively not infectious between man and woman, and the AIDS heterosexual global pandemic cannot and therefore does not exist.

This is the conclusion of the orthodoxy itself, reached in its own papers. Verily the right hand knoweth not what the left hand doeth.

We mourn the loss of Serge

Serge Lang, the man whose published mathematical papers in number theory outnumber the great Euler, passed away at the age of 78 on September 12.

Serge was among the most passionate and influential supporters of fellow National Academy of Sciences member Peter Duesberg's critique of HIV/AIDS. His loss to the insurgency is incalculable.

An eloquent and educational obituary was published yestersday in the New Aids Review.

ANEUPLOIDY AND CANCER:: DUESBERG IS RIGHT ACCORDING TO NATURE

from the 13 October Nature:

Editor's Summary

Cancer and cell division

"A hypothesis about cancer initiation, first proposed nearly a century ago, has stood the test of time. German biologist Theodor Boveri suggested that a failure of cell division might produce tetraploid cells (containing a double chromosome quota) that then undergo multipolar mitosis, leading to genome instability that can trigger cancer. Fujiwara et al. tested the hypothesis using an actin inhibitor to block cell division and generate tetraploid cells. The resulting cells can be transformed in vitro and also generate tumours in mice. The transformed cells exhibit massive genomic instability, including an amplification of a region containing genes associated with breast cancers."

It goes without saying that neither the editorial nor the accompanying paper make any reference to Peter's work, but that is to be expected.

Nonetheless, the literature is replete with his contributions that most certainly influenced and heavily the design and conception of the experiments reported with such glowing enthusiam by nature's illustrious editor (a physicist by the way, not a biologist).

Anyone interested in a history of the aneuploidy theories of cancer from their original Boveri construction so long ago, to the Duesberg reinvigoration and highly quantitative modernization can of course read my prophetic book.

An exact analogy (August 29, 2004)

"A number of people have commented here on the similarities between the War on AIDS and the War on Terror. As I learned from the crisp and clear explanatory prose in this book, the Bush presidency and its War on Terror are, in fact, excellent analogies to the HIV/AIDS hypothesis.

Both have been obvious total disasters in terms of practical results. Both are supported by fear, economic and social special interests, shifting-sands rationales, bad data, rhetoric spiced with religious fervor, outright deceptions and worse. Both are rooted in over-specified phantom boogeymen, a harmless virus and a perhaps not so harmless, but certainly elusive Osama, and his Fu Manchu-like shadowy network of (I'll kill ya!) Al Qaeda.

And yet, 50% of the electorate swallow the War on Terror and even want more, according to the omnipresent polls that should be heavily regulated, or perhaps outlawed since they clearly influence what they are supposed to neutrally report, like poorly designed experiments in biology. With the virus-AIDS hypothesis, it's worse, an overwhelming majority swallow it, and many to suicidal consequences."

Today, the US Ambassador to the "free and democratic republic of Iraq" gave this assessment:

"Despite much progress, much work remains," U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and Gen. George W. Casey, Jr. said in a joint statement. "The legitimate security forces must quell sectarian violence. Population centers must be secure to allow Iraq's new institutions to take root and businesses to flourish. Finally, the people must be able to trust their leadership."

Progress? O, Saddam is gone, one tends to forget. And Tony Fauci and his gang at the NIH have ARVs. But, really, what remains to be done seems an awful lot and does give the lie to the first bold but empty assertion.

I am constantly amazed that the conservative right, which appears to embrace HIV/AIDS criticism more easily than the left does not see this, and even more amazed that the left, which does indeed see through the soiled toilet tissue Washington writes its policies on, cannot see it either.

The Bush administration perverted what might have been a legitimate "war on terrorism" into a misguided, wasteful and dangerous invasion and occupation very much like the "war on AIDS," which should have been part of the "war on drugs" in the US and a "war on poverty" in Africa, became turned into a war on HIV, to the exclusive benefit of a variety of vested interests at the expense of the truth.

It is worth remembering that in both cases the chief device that was employed to lower the bar of proof sufficient for the pig to fly was terror itself.

One Step Closer to 'The Vaccine'

by Harvey Bialy, Ph.D.


A few weeks ago, a brief essay entitled "The Ultimate AIDS Nightmare" was published here. The other day, the dark, collective fantasy on which it is based took another surrealistic turn, and the nightmare became far less a literary diversion than even I imagined when I wrote it.

"May 5, 2006 – The CDC will recommend at least one HIV test for everyone aged 13 to 64 who visits a doctor.

The radical change to HIV testing guidelines will be released in June or July, says Kevin Fenton, MD, Ph.D., the new director of the CDC’s National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention. Routine HIV tests in doctors’ offices and clinics will no longer require the pretest counseling now a part of all HIV testing.

Fenton, joined by former CDC AIDS chief James Curran, MD, MPH, now dean of Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health, spoke today at a news conference marking the 25th anniversary of the AIDS pandemic.

"Most HIV is transmitted by the 25% of infected people who do not even realize they are infected," Fenton said. "We need to dramatically expand access to HIV testing by making it a routine aspect of clinical care."

Just like the coming military campaign against Iran, you can’t say you weren’t warned.
